Under what condition can Bee Organized increase the Mailchimp fees?

According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay continuing monthly nonrefundable fees to Bee Organized's designees for the use of Mailchimp. Bee Organized retains the right to increase these Mailchimp fees in the future if the designated vendor increases the monthly license fees for the software required in the Operations Manual.

This means that as a Bee Organized franchisee, your monthly Mailchimp fees could increase if the vendor that Bee Organized uses for Mailchimp services raises their prices. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors often rely on third-party vendors for various services and software, and these costs can fluctuate.

It is important to note that the FDD does not specify how often or by how much these fees could increase. As a prospective franchisee, you should inquire with Bee Organized about the typical frequency and magnitude of past Mailchimp fee increases to better understand the potential financial impact on your business.
